Instructions
For the salmon:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, cajun seasoning, creole seasoning, orange marmalade, and paprika.
- Dunk the salmon into the marinade. Make sure to coat both sides.
- Transfer the marinated salmon to the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
For the orange glaze:
- Microwave the orange marmalade for 15-20 seconds so it's pourable.
- Remove the salmon from the oven. Turn oven on high broil.
- Spoon 1 Tablespoon of the marmalade over the salmon.
- Broil for 5 more minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and no longer opaque. Be careful to watch that the salmon doesn't burn.
